You don't actually want to be “there” — you just don't know how powerful “here” really is. We live in a constant tension between where we are and where we wish we were. Social media amplifies it. Comparison fuels it. Impatience feeds it. But what if the key to getting “there” is learning how to fully show up “here”? In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks Paul's final words in 2 Timothy and reveals how eternal perspective, daily faithfulness, and radical trust in God are the true pathway from here to there. If you've ever felt behind, stuck, overlooked, or frustrated with your current season, this message will anchor your heart and reset your focus. Trust God here — and He will take you there. ✨What you'll discover: ● Why your “here” is not a holding pattern but holy preparation. ● How eternal perspective keeps you steady in temporary seasons. ● The simple (but not easy) secret to moving from here to there.

Dr. Nanyamka Redmond joins guest host Ruthi Hanchett as they explore how everyday adults — parents, teachers, coaches, and neighbors — can become a powerful protective factor in young people's lives by building the kinds of relationships that help youth thrive and navigate risk.Chapters(00:00) - (00:00) - Introduction: Why Relationships Matter More Than Programs (01:02) - Meet Dr. Nanyamka Redmond and the Search Institute (02:48) - What Are Developmental Assets — and Why Do They Work?

She holds a PhD in Applied Developmental Psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary and a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University. Her work focuses on developmental relationships, youth resilience, and advancing equitable, relationship-centered approaches to youth development and wellbeing. Dr. Redmond specializes in translating developmental science into practical tools for educators, families, youth-serving professionals, and community organizations, emphasizing culturally responsive and strengths-based approaches that center young people's lived experiences. She has also served as Director of School Partnership for Character Lab, co-founded by Angela Duckworth, and is a keynote speaker at the Global Center for Women and Justice's Ensure Justice Conference.Key PointsAn anti-trafficking program can teach warning signs, but it cannot replace a caring adult — if a young person doesn't feel seen, safe, and valued, information alone won't protect them.The Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets framework identifies a combination of internal strengths and external supports that young people need to thrive, and research consistently shows that the more assets a young person has, the better their outcomes.Developmental relationships go beyond good relationships — they are defined by five specific elements (express care, challenge growth, provide support, share power, and expand possibilities) that research has shown to directly impact positive youth outcomes and reduce risk.For youth who have experienced trauma, relationships have often been transactional or harmful, so the experience of someone who cares without strings attached can be surprising — which is why consistency and small, repeated moments of connection matter more than grand gestures.Belonging is not just a buzzword — when adults work to help every young person feel genuinely seen and valued in the spaces meant for them, it builds the sense of dignity that serves as a foundation for resilience.Sharing power with young people doesn't mean abandoning guidance; it means entering those relationships with a frame that sees adolescence as an age of opportunity rather than a period of storm and stress.Resilience is relational — it is not something young people build alone, but something that grows when multiple caring adults across their ecosystem show up consistently over time.Adults who want to support youth leadership can start with incremental steps: invite young people to co-create the questions, let them lead the conversation, and hold the barriers gently without squashing the vision.ResourcesSearch InstituteThe 40 Developmental Assets FrameworkGlobal Center for Women and JusticeEnding Human Trafficking PodcastAge of Opportunity: Lessons from the New Science of Adolescence by Laurence Steinberg

Get the FULL video interview on YouTube https://youtu.be/vEoeJ1mwIkg or on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/3Ism4pAz8bvXg16TjnoLhh?si=hO_a7cwSQ_KCgWTK03LoJQ Oh F*ck Yeah with Ruan Willow Podcast Hosts Actress Brandi Swan in an interview! Season 6, Episode 719: From Stage to screen: Brandi Swan's Path into Professional Adult Entertainment. Brandi Swan's journey from theater stages to adult film sets is anything but ordinary. After years as a dancer, she discovered pole dancing, which eventually led her into adult entertainment—though not before she learned what "making it wink" meant during her very first audition (talk about a learning curve, yikes!). Now working with major studios, she's finding her preferences through experience, crediting co-star Jay Romero for making her comfortable during a successful first anal scene. Brandi has a Master's Degree in Theater and she loves dancing exotically and doing adult entertainment because 'she loves the thrill, the art of seduction, and the people she meets along the way." Beyond the bedroom, Brandi's navigating the demanding business side of adult entertainment. She recently graced the red carpet at both AVN and XBIZ events. At XBIZ in Los Angeles, she spent a week networking through panels and speed-dating events with agencies and directors—exhausting work that contrasts sharply with her previous theater career. She's setting boundaries (no hard hits to the face), embracing her submissive side, and planning to eventually transition from performing into directing and producing, bringing her film background to create more sophisticated adult content.

Today, Lara sits down with Dion Matheson—an educator, counsellor, parenting coach, and mom of three who has spent her career helping families move from overwhelm to clarity when school challenges, emotional struggles, and psychoeducational assessments start piling up. Dion brings both deep professional expertise and real-life parenting insight, with a Bachelor of Education, a Master's in Educational Psychology (School Counselling) from the University of Alberta, and credentials as a Canadian Certified Counsellor (C.C.C.). She has over 16 years of experience supporting children, teens, and parents at school and at home. In today's episode, Dion helps us make sense of one of the most stressful parenting seasons: when you know your child is struggling, but you're not sure what to do next. We talk about the emotional rollercoaster of considering a psychoeducational assessment—the fear of labels, the fear of “getting it wrong,” and the fear of being judged. Dion shares how she helps parents sort through the emotional fog, focus on what matters most in the early weeks, and build a path forward that feels doable, not daunting. We also dig into the tug-of-war so many parents feel between advocating strongly for their child and maintaining a positive relationship with the school. Dion offers compassionate guidance for finding your footing when you're worried about coming across as “too much,” plus practical ways to turn school accommodations from something that lives on paper into routines that actually help your child day to day. Her insights on parent coaching as the often-missing piece are especially powerful for families who feel stuck in exhausting patterns at home.If you're facing your first assessment, trying to understand a report, or navigating school supports that don't seem to be working yet, this conversation brings warmth, reassurance, and a roadmap forward. Dion's perspective will help you feel less alone—and more confident in the next step.In today's episode, we cover:The emotional side of psychoeducational assessments (fear, uncertainty, and what parents need most first)How to read a report without spiraling—and what to prioritize in the early weeksThe balance between strong advocacy and a collaborative school relationshipWhy parent coaching can be the missing piece when everyone feels stuckHow to support your child while still building independence and resilienceTurning accommodations “on paper” into daily habits that actually work at home and schoolMeet our guest:Dion Matheson is an educator, school counsellor, parenting coach, and Canadian Certified Counsellor with over 16 years of experience helping children, teens, and families thrive in school and at home.

Following Jesus will cost you everything — but with the power of the Holy Spirit, it will give you the peace you've been searching for. In this message, Christine Caine unpacks Jesus' radical call to discipleship in Mark 8, confronting a self-focused, image-driven culture with a countercultural invitation: deny yourself, listen to the Holy Spirit, take up your cross, and follow Him — fully and wholeheartedly. Jesus never asked for part of our lives. He calls us to an ALL IN faith — one where surrender leads to freedom, obedience leads to joy, and losing your life for His sake is the only way to truly find it.

Robert Zemsky is a pioneer in market analysis of higher education and served as the founding director of the University of Pennsylvania's Institute for Research on Higher Education, one of the country's leading public policy centers specializing in educational research and analysis. In this episode of The Key, Zemsky speaks with Inside Higher Ed's editor in chief Sara Custer about his biggest project yet: championing three-year bachelor's degrees in the U.S.  He argues that higher education is seeing "product rejection" from students and that three-year degrees are the solution. But Bob is careful not to be proscriptive about how colleges develop shorter programs. His message to educators is: try it, you might like it.

Welcome back to The Leadership Boost. I'm Shaun Smit.Today I want to speak to a slightly different audience, or maybe to the leader in you who remembers being that person.We're talking about graduates. University students. Young professionals just starting out.Because here's something I see constantly: incredibly talented young people who worked hard, got the qualification, crossed the stage, and then hit a wall.Not because they're not capable. Not because they don't have potential.But because nobody ever taught them how to build a game plan for their career.And that matters. Because the leaders we develop today are the ones making decisions tomorrow.

Colleges and other providers have flooded the market with non-degree credentials in the past decade. But a recent analysis shows that only one in three credentials bring meaningful returns for graduates. Jeff and Michael talk with Matt Sigelman, president of the Burning Glass Institute, who is working to provide data to consumers and policymakers about the ROI of non-degree credentials. Given many of the returns of credentials come to those with traditional degrees already, the future of the degree and credentials are inextricably tied together.

What does it take to introduce a brand new industry to a community? That is the challenge Chris Kelley, President of Hard Rock Casino Tejon, is tackling in opening the Hard Rock Casino Tejon in Kern County. With more than 20 years of experience in gaming and hospitality, Chris shares inspiring insights on Hard Rock's partnership with the Tejon tribe, the creation of thousands of jobs, and the impact of introducing an entirely new industry to a region traditionally dominated by agriculture and energy. From discussing amplified guest service and meaningful community relationships, to revealing the grassroots approach to workforce development, Chris unpacks how Hard Rock balances its global brand identity while authentically rooting itself in Kern County's culture and history. Tune in to discover the impact of breaking new ground and building an industry from the ground up.  You'll learn: The impact of introducing thousands of jobs to a region previously dominated by agriculture and energy, helping to diversify and strengthen the local economy. How the hospitality sector is a powerful career engine, allowing workers to start at any level and progress in their careers, fostering growth and upward mobility for long-term success. How building strong relationships—with the Tejon Tribe, local businesses, and especially the community college network—has been critical to the Hard Rock Casino project's progress. The ways in which rapid technological changes—especially in AI—are reshaping hospitality to augment jobs and create efficiencies rather than replacing roles outright.

A thoughtful and educational conversation with Dr. Nab explores tremors, brain health, and the powerful connection between the gut and the nervous system. The discussion reframes symptoms as meaningful signals rather than issues to ignore, unpacking different types of tremors and potential root causes such as nutrient deficiencies, toxins, stress, and gut imbalances. With a functional medicine lens, the episode highlights the importance of early awareness, foundational lifestyle habits, and proactive brain care—showing how small, informed changes can support long-term neurological health and overall vitality.  Key Takeaways:   Symptoms like tremors are signals from the body, inviting us to look deeper rather than accept them as inevitable.  Brain health is closely tied to gut integrity, nutrient status, and the body's ability to manage toxins.  Foundational habits—movement, hydration, and whole foods—play a critical role in protecting cognitive health.  Stress and nervous system overload can amplify underlying imbalances over time.  Proactive testing and early awareness help put the odds in favor of long-term brain resilience and vitality.  About Dr. Georgia Nab:  Dr. Georgia Nab entered the chiropractic industry in 1992 by owning a chiropractic clinic in Wichita, Kansas. From 2012 through 2017, she joined a manufacturing facility in Wisconsin to provide chiropractic care, nutritional counseling, and educational training to the employees at the company's corporate headquarters. While there, she authored her book called 1 Degree of Change, in addition to numerous other publications.   In 2015, she graduated with her Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine degree. She is currently an adjunct professor at the University of Western States for their masters program. Dr. Nab is a Certified Nutrition Specialist from the Board for Nutrition Specialist and works with Affiliated Monitors, an independent monitoring company for professionals.  Connect with Dr. Georgia Nab at:  https://www.authenticdoc.life/   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

#779 What if, instead of spending four years in college, you could build a multimillion-dollar business by age 28? That's exactly what Andrew Gomez did — starting his trucking company at just 18 years old! In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, Andrew shares how he went from dispatching for his brother to financing two trucks and launching AJG Transport while still a teenager. Over the years, he expanded into truck repair, logistics brokerage, government contracting, and even launched a trucking-focused software company. With over 140 drivers and 70 employees, Andrew pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to succeed in an industry known for high turnover and tight margins. From building trust with brokers and shippers to creating a culture of empathy and excellence for his drivers, he drops powerful lessons on resilience, innovation, and leadership that apply to any business. Whether you're 18 or 80, Andrew's story proves that hustle, heart, and vision can take you further than a degree ever will! (Original Air Date - 6/13/25) What we discuss with Andrew: + Started trucking biz at 18 + Financed two trucks as a teen + Built multiple logistics companies + Importance of finding a niche + Lessons from dispatching and scaling + Innovation through software and systems + Treating drivers with empathy + Creating a resilient company culture + Spotting opportunity before competition + Balancing ambition with personal life Thank you, Andrew!

Kat is getting ready for only her SECOND date in months… and the pressure is on. What do you wear? How do you act? Do you play it cool or immediately talk about your gut health underwear collection? The show rallies around Kat with wildly unhelpful advice. Then we open the phones for your most unhinged workplace disaster stories — from accidental emails to HR nightmares to “I thought I was muted” moments. Let's just say… some of you should not be allowed near a company Slack channel. And finally, Fletch drops a bombshell: he claims he has an actual degree in broadcasting… which would make him the ONLY person in the entire building technically qualified to be on the radio. Is it real? Is it framed? Was it printed at Kinko's in 2007? The investigation begins. It's dating pressure, workplace chaos, and credential controversy — just another calm morning with Big Rich, TD, and Fletch

What you put on your feet can quietly sabotage your technique or unlock a level of performance you didn't know you had. In this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, Steven Sashen speaks with Denis Vasilev, MA, 11x Kettlebell World Champion, IKO Master Coach & Founder, who returns to break down the overlooked performance variable most lifters ignore: footwear. A multiple-time kettlebell sport champion and elite-level competitor, Denis recently won a competition with 85 reps in 10 minutes using double 32kg in the long cycle—an internationally ranked, top-tier result, especially at age 42. He explains why traditional weightlifting shoes can mask flaws, how minimalist footwear improves feedback and consistency, and what that means for strength, efficiency, and long-set performance.   Key Takeaways: → Better sensory input from the ground helps people self-correct their technique in real time. → Heel lift and rigid structure may mask mobility and timing issues rather than fix them. → Thick, rigid. Heels reduce feedback, tempting lifters to slam rather than time the movement. → Feeling stance changes immediately allows people to correct before they compound into fatigue and wasted energy. → Toe space matters more than people realize, but if they return to narrow shoes, the restriction becomes obvious.    Denis Vasilev is a globally recognized Kettlebell Sport athlete, coach, and educator with more than 25 years of experience in the discipline. He began his Kettlebell Sport journey at age 16 in 1999 and has become one of the most decorated athletes in the sport's history. He has earned prestigious ranks, including Master of Sport International Class, and competed for the Russian National Kettlebell Sport Team from 2008 to 2015, performing at the highest professional level worldwide. Denis holds a Master's Degree in Physical Education & Sport Pedagogy from Lesgaft National State University in St. Petersburg and has been coaching athletes since 2009. He is the founder of the International Kettlebell Organization (IKO) and the Kettlebell Sport World League. Additionally, Denis is the creator of BELLEVATOR, a premium line of Kettlebell Sport belts and apparel, and continues to lead and inspire the Kettlebell Sport community worldwide.

What if the stress, anxiety, and burnout we feel aren't signs that we're doing too much, but signs that we're plugged into the wrong source? It's time for us to unplug so we can actually recharge. In this episode, Christine Caine invites us to follow the example of Jesus, who regularly withdrew from the crowds to pray, reminding us that peace, clarity, and strength are found not in constant connection, but in God's presence. As our devices demand more of us than ever, this message calls us to unplug from the virtual world and intentionally plug into the One who renews our souls and restores our joy. ✨ Be equipped and empowered to discover: ● Why Jesus intentionally withdrew from people to be with the Father. ● How constant digital connection is fueling anxiety, burnout, and distraction. ● What it practically looks like to unplug from technology and plug into God.

Is a degree in economics, long considered a path to stable employment, even worth it in the age of AI? Recent research suggests entry-level economics and business jobs may be especially exposed to automation. That could leave college students wondering if their degree will be outdated by the time they hit the job market. Today, we'll hear how students and schools are adapting. Plus, work requirement changes to SNAP benefits could impact millions of recipients.

“My times were dropping and it was so exciting. Every week, they were dropping, dropping, dropping. It was pretty early in the season, too. At that point, I hadn't even made NCAAs. At the time when I ran 2:00, I had the number one time in the country. There was a lot that happened super fast… I think that was my favorite race of my life. I never even thought in my mind that I could run 2:00 even earlier on in the season. It broadened the horizons of what I think I'm capable of in the future and to never limit myself.”My guest for today's episode is Victoria Bossong. This week on the podcast, CITIUS MAG is bringing you interviews with some of Team New Balance's latest signees as we celebrate five years of partnering with them on all things from the high school to the professional front. Yesterday, we brought you an interview with Roisin Willis and now we've got another strong rising 800m runner.Victoria was a star high school sprinter in Maine who almost on a whim tried the 800m late into her prep career and found success. Fast forward a few years and she's fully committed to the event. In 2025 while at Harvard, she was the NCAA Indoor Championships runner-up and ran an outdoor personal best of 1:59.48. She just opened up her indoor season as a pro with an indoor 1000m PB of 2:36. Off the track, she's just as impressive. She has her degree in neuroscience and has worked in a Harvard Medical School lab. In our chat, she discusses how she managed to balance all of that as a student-athlete, how she comes at the 800m from more of a sprinter background, and her goals for her first professional season.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Victoria Bossong | @victoriabossong on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSUSATF: The USATF Indoor Track and Field Championships presented by Prevagen are back in New York City from February 28th to March 1st at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island.

What if the greatest threat to our witness today isn't culture—but division within the church itself? In a time when opinions are loud and loyalties are competing, it's easy to prioritize being right over reflecting Christ. In this episode, Christine Caine walks through 1 Corinthians 1 to remind us that what unites us in Jesus is far greater than anything that divides us. Paul's words to the Corinthian church speak powerfully to our moment—calling us back to humility, unity, and the centrality of the cross. This message challenges us to elevate Jesus above personalities, preferences, and opinions, and to live in a way that truly reflects Him to a watching world. Unity isn't optional—it's essential to our witness. ✨ In this episode, you'll discover: ● Why unity matters more than ever in a divided world ● How the cross confronts pride, power, and human wisdom ● What it looks like to live and lead with Jesus at the center
